If this keeps going on, I'm going to have to invest in popcorn futures. I'm putting the video below the fold because it shows a bunch of dead bodies and so consider yourself warned.

The only other caveat is that there's no way to verify any of it. The video is labeled "Hezbollah ambush Jabhat Al-Nusra on Syria/Lebanon Border," but as we've seen in the past, the videos coming out of Syria are often flat out lies. They take a video of a bunch of dead people, and then both sides use the same video to either claim responsibility or claim the other side did it and it was a "massacre".

But still, one can hope, right? Worst case scenario this isn't the result of a Hezbollah assault on al Qaeda, it's the result of an al Qaeda assault on Hezbollah. Or one group of al Qaeda on another group. Or on Syrian regulars.

So basically I'm saying that whoever it is who is dead, they probably deserved it.
